What does the +0.75mm sizing mean for these bearings?

The +0.75mm sizing indicates that these bearings are slightly larger than standard. This is necessary when the crankshaft journals have been machined down by 0.75mm during an engine rebuild or repair. Using the correct size bearing ensures proper oil clearance and a secure fit.

What is trimetal construction?

Trimetal construction refers to a bearing design that uses three distinct layers of materials. This typically includes a steel backing for strength, a copper-lead alloy for load carrying capacity, and a softer overlay like babbitt for conformability and embeddability. It's a well-built design for demanding engine conditions.

Do these bearings come with new hardware?

This product listing is for the connecting rod bearing set only. New hardware, such as connecting rod bolts, is typically sold separately and should be replaced according to manufacturer specifications during an engine rebuild.

About this part

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the engine in your 1993-2004 Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, or Beetle, getting the connecting rod bearings right is crucial. These King Engine Bearings are specifically made for VW engines with ABL, AEY, AGR, AHH, and AHU codes, and they come at a +0.75mm size, which is important if your crankshaft journals have been machined down during a rebuild.

These bearings use a trimetal construction, which is a well-built design that helps them handle the pressures and heat generated by the engine. Proper bearing clearance is key to oil flow and preventing premature wear, and these are designed to provide that critical gap. Having the correct size bearing ensures a snug fit on the connecting rod and crankshaft, which is vital for smooth engine operation and longevity.

When you're putting an engine back together, especially after machining work, using the correct size bearings like these +0.75mm ones is essential for a successful rebuild. Always refer to your vehicle's specific repair manual for detailed installation instructions and torque specifications.
